This song was originally by Jimmy Cliff, and then covered by dozens of others.
For some reason it's 2009 and nobody's even posted the lyrics for this song, so here goes.


      D (xx0232@1)       A (x02220@1)         DLion (xx0232@1)says "I am king, and I reign"

       D (xx0232@1)                    ALion (x02220@1)says "I am king in this reign"

          D (xx0232@1)                       GNo (320003@1)more kings must be in this backyard

      D (xx0232@1)         A (x02220@1)         DLion (xx0232@1)says, "I am king and I reign."


Elephant says "I am king 'cause I'm strong"

Giraffe says "I am king 'cause my neck is long"

There's no doubt that they are all wrong

Still lion says "I am king 'cause I'm double-strong."

(The site wants proof that Jimmy Cliff is actually a recognised musician, so here's a 
to one of his albums: http://www.amazon.com/Best-Jimmy-Cliff/dp/B00000E5N2.  Seriously 
even Bob Marley covered this, so I think it's worth posting.)
